A simple analytical model of aerosol properties with account for hygroscopic growth: 1. Equilibrium size spectra and cloud condensation nuclei activity spectra [PDF]
A microphysical model of aerosol size spectra that includes hygroscopic growth is presented. In the presence of atmospheric humidity, an aerosol size spectrum of the Junge [1952] type transforms into a superposition of two equilibrium power law spectra with indices determined by the original Junge index and the fraction of soluble material contained in
